TOS error #39 is probably "insufficient memory".
Uniterm (like most ST programs) automatically take ALL memory on startup.
You have to change the buffersizes [Settings] [Buffers...] ...

In particular you must increase the "System" Buffer size until it is
large enough for the program you want to run (it defaults to only 5K).

Using this I have even been able to run Pecan Software's UCSD p-System
(which needs all the non-OS memory on a 512K 520ST just to start!)
under Uniterm 2.0a, on my MEGA ST2.
